The Ghost

Waking every morning I found that he was there
Frantically Id turn away to escape his evil stare
For days Id run, for weeks and months, and the months turned into years
Thru total torment every day I saw him thru my tears
This ghost that haunts me from my past, he speaks to me each day
He tells me how to live my life and do it all his way
Anger is his only way and bitterness inside
To lash right out and hate the world and then to run and hide

Hurt and pain and anguish too are the gifts he gives to me
Is there no end to what I feel, my God please set me free
I wanted love and searched in vain to find out what it meant
Then an angel came to change my life and I knew that he was sent
For months he fought this evil ghost and took his vile abuse
I told the angel go away I know it of no use
Hes robbed me of the ones I loved and all which I hold dear
He sheds distrust inside my heart, and fills me full of fear

But yet my faithfull angel stayed, and still he followed thru
He promised me hed kill this ghost, because Gods love was true
Then the day had finally come, the day God set me free
He made me face this ghost at last, and I found that ghost was me

People often choose to run than face the fears inside
They look for anwers they can never find so their forced to fight or hide
Our ghosts are born from within ourselves, so what was left to do
To forget my past and live for now and let Gods word be true
They say true love will conquer all and I know these words are right
With my angels help my ghost is dead
Gods love has won the fight
